Creative Ambition

Having a comprehensive understanding of the creative ambition of the client helped us to construct a world class Expo Pavilion, which took inspiration from the UAE culture, landscape and traditions and helped to educate and engage visitors with the core theme of the expo.

Customised Experience

Creating a state of the art, theatrically entertaining, and technologically interactive ‘Main Show’, engaged the audience in the narrative whilst validating the importance of the client’s story by weaving the UAE’s rich heritage into an inspiring vision of the country’s future.

Precise Execution

Planning for every eventuality, undertaking endless testing throughout every phase and mediating between the client and stakeholders helped to transform a significantly delayed project with an extremely challenging architectural design and environment into a highly successful delivery.

Seamless Support

Assisting with additional on-site support, working incredibly long hours and utilising as much of the company’s resources ensured the successful delivery of the design and final project in time for the grand opening, despite all onsite problems and short delivery timeframe.

What the Client Says

“The technologies we’re using weren’t available in 2010,” said Dr Vine, drawing comparison with the UAE’s prize-winning pavilion at Shanghai that year. "In terms of the shows, it’s really cutting edge … we’re very pleased with the result.”

- Dr Peter Vine, Pavilion Project Director (The National, UAE)

What the Press Say

“Some 145 nations are participating in the World Expo 2015 being held in Milan and which finishes on 31 October. Our star of the show was undoubtedly the UAE Pavilion which was emotional, challenging, thought-provoking, yet managed to educate and engage.”
